little friday aka thursday

i'm off to the beach for some much needed r and r for the next few days. so far it seems the sun will be shining, i'll be taking my new cruiser out for a spin, trying a new yoga studio, spending time with my people, catching up with my bestie, shopping and eating nachos. when i'm not doing that, i'll be staring at the ocean; we have a date. i'm looking forward to welcoming spring and the new beginnings of easter by the seaside, it's pretty much exactly what my soul needs right now. so, some friday fuel a day early.

what i want wednesday

sooo, yes, i need both of these ( i was thinking the same thing, weird!). i honestly can't pick and they both go perfectly with my fav everyday pieces...it's like finding missing family members.

i learned about james michelle here, and am totally thrilled to see her succeed and prosper - so heck yes i want to buy some jewelry to support that kind of stuff!

tune in tuesday

so, this was a total accident. i was looking for "a change is gonna come" to post, but i wanted a really rad, moving version. and then somehow i found this, and well i just love it. the song rocks. grace is a total babe. beyonce is the queen. so, any questions? total winner. enjoy!

weekend wonders

"There comes a fun point in a man’s life when he stops dating girls and starts dating women. Girls, well, they’re great and all, but they’re still growing and finding themselves. Women, real women, know themselves, and don’t fuck about, thank-you-kindly. About six months or so ago I started seeing women."

- Ned Hepburn


i only titled the post weekend wonders, because it's monday and that's what i title blog posts on monday. but i have absolutely nothing to show you! i refuse to give my iphone the satisfaction of taking pictures when another weekend is spent laying low with a cold. enough is enough. so, i was sick, and there is snow today, and if spring doesn't get it's ass here soon i think i seriously might wither up and die. could i be more pale? i don't think i have ever been this pale? and my pants are tight from lack of motivation...seriously winter? i am so. over. you. we had fun! i showed you a good time - lots of skiing and time outdoors, snapping shots of the snow and sipping lots of bourbon in front of the fire. but enough is enough.

so instead, i found this, and i want to share. ahhh so that's the difference; dating girls vs. women? i get it now. and you know what, i dig being a woman. and laughing? well, there's probably nothing better in my book.

happy monday lovers, hang in there with me - laughter is the best medicine.

friday fuel

easy as 2, 3, 4

i had the pleasure of changed plans on monday night. tacos and time with some of my favorite little people, then to yoga. except it snowed, AGAIN, and yoga was cancelled. but that's okay when you learn the most delicious and simple brownie recipe instead. melissa is one of the most amazing women ever, and a little extra time spent with her is always sweet. 

so, i give you melissa's 2,3,4 one-bowl brownies!

2 sticks of butter - melt

3 cups sugar (2 cups brown, 1 cup white) - stir

4 eggs - one at a time

1 t vanilla (we used double dutch!) - overpour

1 cup good dutch processed cocoa - mix

1 1/2 cups of flour & 1 cup chocolate chips - stir until flour is combined

line 9x13 pan with parchment paper

bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes

(don't cut until ready to serve so they stay moist!)

or you can just follow the pictures above.

told you. easy peasy. 

what i want wednesday

i'm going to need one of these for tomorrow's yummy post! 

(or, this will do too.)
